Checking out Christmas on the Morristown Green Sunday? If you're there, you can stop by a tent operated by the local Masonic lodge and get an ID kit for your child.

MORRISTOWN — On Sunday, Parents will get kits of material to help identify and locate their children in the event the children ever go missing .

Cincinnati Lodge No. 3 of the Free and Accepted Masons in Morristown will offer the kits from 4 to 7 p.m., from a tent on the Morristown Green. The tent will be located among the decorations for the town's ongoing Christmas festival.

The effort is part of the Masonic Child Identification Programs initiative to aid in the identification and recovery of missing children. CHIP programs are supported and staffed by volunteers from Masonic lodges as well as law enforcement and dental professionals.

A kit contains a fingerprint card, a physical description, a DVD of the child, a dental imprint, and a DNA sample. The purpose of the kit is to provide critical information to the public and to law enforcement in the event that a child goes missing.

The DVD, besides capturing appearance and voice, includes questions tailored toward the child's age group and can assist in finding children who might be missing for other reasons besides abduction.

According to a statement provided by Morris Township Officials, unlike similar municipal and law enforcement programs, the Masonic CHIP program does not log collected information into any database.

"The Masonic Child ID Program operates with strict confidentiality, with all data on portable computers being removed from systems immediately after the DVD data has been written," according to the statement. "If a DVD is lost by a parent or guardian, they can simply have another created free of charge by attending another Masonic Child ID event."
